If you’re weighing Solar Panel Installation in Hurst for your home, here’s the straight answer: most systems in the 76053 and 76054 zip codes run between $18,000 and $32,000 before incentives, and the two things that decide your final number are your actual electric bill and whether your home still has its original 100-amp panel. That second part matters more in Hurst than almost anywhere else in Texas, and we’ll get into why below. We answer the phone at (877) 550-6892, and you’ll get a live person every time, not a voicemail.

Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus Petrakis puts his own name on the truck, publishes his license number, and still answers his own phone. That matters to people in Hurst who’ve already sat through a two-hour pitch from an out-of-state crew that quoted one number on the phone and a very different one at the kitchen table. Gus’s Solar has been locally owned since 2011, and the person who signs your contract is the same person who shows up when something needs attention later.
We work throughout Hurst regularly, from the tree-lined streets off Shady Brook Drive to the mid-century ranches along Hurstview Drive and the split-levels near Bellaire Drive. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Mayfair and Shady Oaks call us because we’re not a sales crew that disappears after closing. Our installers are background-checked, uniformed, and work directly for Gus. Nobody gets handed off to a subcontractor. And if the system isn’t right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Gus back. In writing, on every job.
Solar Services We Offer in Hurst
Solar Panel Installation
A proper residential install in Hurst starts with looking at your real electric usage, not a glossy brochure estimate. Between the hail factor and the compact roof lines here, panel selection and placement need more thought than a generic national quote will give them.

Solar Battery Storage & Backup
Spring storm season in Tarrant County knocks power out often enough that Hurst homeowners ask about Hurst Solar Battery Storage & Backup almost as often as panels. A battery system keeps your lights and refrigerator running when the grid drops, and it pairs well with the hail-hardened arrays we recommend locally.

Solar Panel Cleaning
In Hurst, pollen season in spring and dust blown in from the west leave a film on panels that quietly cuts production. Hurst Solar Panel Cleaning keeps your array performing at the level you paid for, and it’s a quick job for our crew.

EV Charger Installation
More Hurst homeowners are adding electric vehicles and want to charge at home overnight. We install EV Charger Installation in Hurst properly, including the panel work many mid-century homes need to support the additional load.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
We don’t install and walk away. Gus monitors system performance and is the one who calls you if output drops below where it should be. That’s the difference between an owner-operator and a company that hands you a portal login and hopes you never check it.
Solar Panel Repair
Hail damage, failed inverters, loose connections. If your system was installed by someone else and they’re not answering, we still come out. We offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, so you know what a fair repair actually costs before you commit.
Commercial Solar Installation
Hurst has a strong base of small commercial properties along Pipeline Road and around the Northeast Mall corridor. We handle commercial arrays with the same owner-direct accountability we bring to homes, using equipment from brands like Qcells, REC, and SunPower.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Hurst
We cover all of Hurst, including both the 76053 and 76054 zip codes. Our crew is usually able to be at your door same day or next day for estimates and service calls. Here are a few of the areas we’re in most often:

- Bellaire Drive area
- Shady Brook Drive corridor

Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Hurst sits in the middle of Tarrant County’s hail-active corridor. Spring and early-summer storm cells rolling northeast from the Hill Country regularly drop golf-ball-sized hail on the Mid-Cities, which means your solar proposal has to address impact-resistant panel ratings up front. We specify IEC 61215-rated panels as standard here, not as an add-on. That’s a Hurst-specific conversation. The same system quoted in El Paso or even Austin doesn’t have to contend with this level of sustained hail exposure.
Just as important is what’s on the wall next to your meter. Hurst was largely platted and built out between 1960 and 1985, and street after street of single-story ranch and split-level homes still runs on the original 100-amp electrical service. Oncor’s interconnection requirements for solar mean a panel upgrade to 200-amp service is a near-universal prerequisite before a single panel gets permitted. That’s not an upsell. It’s part of the job scope, and if a solar quote doesn’t mention it, that quote is leaving out a line item you’ll discover later.
There’s another quirk of Hurst worth knowing. Because so much of the city was subdivided and built within a tight 15-year window, entire cul-de-sacs share the same original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels. One solar job on a street often reveals a cluster of neighbors who all need the same panel-swap scope. We’ve seen it play out repeatedly in the neighborhoods west of Precinct Line Road.

FAQs About Solar in Hurst
Most residential systems in Hurst run $18,000 to $32,000 before the federal tax credit, depending on array size, battery inclusion, and whether your home needs a panel upgrade. The panel upgrade alone typically adds $2,500 to $4,500, which is common in Hurst because of the 1960s-1980s housing stock. Call (877) 550-6892 with your electric bill and we’ll give you an exact number based on your actual usage.
Almost always, yes. The original 100-amp Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels common across Hurst’s mid-century ranch homes don’t meet Oncor’s interconnection requirements. We factor the 200-amp upgrade into your quote as a line item, not a surprise later.
Yes, provided the system is designed for this climate. Tarrant County averages over 229 sunny days a year, so production is strong, and we specify IEC 61215 impact-rated panels so the arrays hold up to the golf-ball hail this corridor sees every spring. You’ll also want to check your homeowner’s insurance rider, and we’re happy to point you toward what to ask your agent.
In most cases, yes. We provide same-day or next-day visits for estimates and service calls, and a live person answers at (877) 550-6892 around the clock. No voicemail, no ticketing portal, no call center in another state.
It depends on the age and condition of your equipment. For most repairs in Hurst, you’re looking at $250 to $900. If your inverter has failed or hail has damaged multiple panels, we’ll give you a straight comparison of repair versus replacement costs, not a nudge toward whichever has the bigger commission. We offer $40 off any repair over $200 and free second opinions on written estimates.
We keep this simple. You’ll get a clear, upfront price with no signature demanded tonight. Financing is available through standard lenders, and if you’re a senior or veteran, a 10% discount applies and never expires. If a salesman needs an answer tonight, the answer is no. That’s our rule, too.
If you’re in Hurst and want honest numbers from someone who lives with the same hail storms and the same 100-amp panels you do, call Gus’s Solar at (877) 550-6892. Free estimate, no pressure, and the person who quotes you is the person who answers when you call back. That’s how it should work.

What Hurst Customers Say
"The install itself was excellent and the system performs as modelled. Permitting and the utility interconnection took about four months, most of it out of his hands, though the waiting was still frustrating."
- Marguerite Ostrowski"Told me straight that a battery did not make sense for how we use power and sold me the array without it. He talked himself out of a good deal of money that afternoon."
- Reginald Pontefract"He flashed every roof penetration properly and showed me the flashing before it went down. Three roof seasons on and not a drop anywhere."
- Philomena Achara
